VALUE MATTERS!

Poster of Norwegian film 'Sentimental Value' (2025).

'24th Pune International Film Festival' (PIFF') recently over, and one of the few good films I watched in it was Norwegian 'Sentimental Value' (2025) in which my favourite beautiful actress Renate Reinsve gracefully portrayed her role! It's her third collaboration with director Joachim Trier who is famous for his 'Oslo Trilogy'! She won 'Best Actress' award for their second film 'The Worst Person in the World' (2021) at 'Cannes Film Festival' and recent film also won 'Grand Prix' in it!

Beautiful Renate Reinsve in film 'Sentimental Value' (2025).

'Sentimental Value' focused on how the values & principles affect relationships and the creative work. This is about how filmmaker father tries to convince his actress daughter to act in his film and her previous relationship based stand on it, which latter change from the meaningful and emotional conversation with another actress who was approached for that role! 

Sensible director Joachim Trier co-wrote this film with Eskil Vogt. Maria Ekerhovd & Andrea Berentsen Ottmar produced this film nicely cinematographed by Kasper Tuxen and skillfully edited by Olivier Bugge Coutte. And Polish pianist & singer Hania Rani composed music for it! All main artists did their roles sensitively in it. These include veteran Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard as filmmaker, Norwegian actresses Inga Lilleaas with Renate Reinsve as sisters & Elle Fanning as glamorous American actress!

'Sentimental Value' already won many awards in various film festivals like 'Grand Prix' at Cannes! Besides, this film won top awards of 'European Film Academy' in which include Best Film, Screenwriter, Composer, Actor and Best Director Joachim & Best Actress Renate! And this film received 9 nominations for '98th Oscar'. In this, of course include Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actresses and 'Best International Feature Film'!

Congratulations to entire team of 'Sentimental Value' and Best wishes for 'Oscar'!!
